The document discusses radicals and their properties. It defines radicals as irrational numbers expressed in roots, and another way to express numbers with fractional exponents. Radicals are expressed as an, where n is the index and a is the radicand. The document asks questions about what affects the quadratic term and constant term of a quadratic function. It also relates the multiplier of the quadratic term to the width of the parabola.

3. • What is affected by the numerical
coefficient that is multiplied to the
quadratic term?
• What is affected by the value of the
constant term of a quadratic function?
• Describe the relation between the
multiplier of the quadratic term to the
width of the parabola.

4. • The function y=2𝑥2
is translated 4 units
upward. What is the new function?
• The AOS of y=𝑥2
is moved to x=3 and no
change in the value of y. What is the
new function?

8. Radicals
• Irrational Numbers expressed in roots.
• Another way to express numbers with
fractional exponents
• Expressed as: 𝑎𝑛
where n=index and
a=radicand
• Example: 3 9
